    Take it slow. You didn't gain the weight quickly and you won't lose it quickly if you want to keep it off.

    Follow the MFP process (CICO, logging, net cals, etc.), experimenting to see which ones among the appealing-to-you eating strategies and activities make the process easiest and most sustainable *for you*.

    By eating strategies, I mean all those things like 3 meals vs. 5 meals vs. 3 meals plus snacks; meal timing (including things like intermittent fasting, big meals at varied times of day, etc.); macro manipulation (high fat, low carb, all that stuff; vege- pesca- whatever-e-tarianism; and so forth.

    By "activities", I mean any form of movement you enjoy, including very little movement at all if that's what floats your personal boat.

    Don't diet. Eat nutritious meals.

    Raw salads are great.

    Check your food combinations. Number one nono is carbs and proteins in one meal.

    Bad advice - you should pair carbs with protein - the carbs trigger the insulin release which helps to transport amino acids into the cell

    Salads are great

    Don't completely deprive yourself of everything you enjoy, just eat less of it and have it less often.

    Draw an imaginary line down your dinner plate, fill half with a green salad and then the other half your planned dinner.

    I do the same thing with most of my meals and it helps a lot. I can't even eat a meal that's not 1/2 vegetables any more, I just don't like the idea of eating it. I'm not giving advice because I've been on mfp for a little more than a month. Just a big thank you to everyone for sharing and helping.

    What would it be? No lists, keeping it nice and simple. Just one tip, new to this (just logged my 30th day in a row and looking for more inspiration) interested to see what people put as their top tip.

    Eat less, exercise more.
